We have carried out an audit of Aker BP and its management of emergency preparedness on the Skarv (FPSO) facility.

Objective
The objective of this audit was to review and evaluate management of emergency preparedness on the Skarv facility. We also wanted to audit which processes Aker BP has established for securing compliance with the conditions, restrictions and recommendations in the emergency preparedness analysis, and their communication to the emergency preparedness organisation in order to ensure robust emergency preparedness at Skarv.

We also sought to monitor that a system for continuous improvement has been implemented and that collaboration is provided for.

Result
We identified three non-conformities relating to:

Evacuation routes

Manning of the first aid team

Training and practice in the use of the personnel basket (FROG)

We also identified five improvement points relating to:

Signage and marking

Logging of practice/training

The same type of MOB boat is not used during onshore training as the type that Skarv has on board

Registration and follow-up of drop-outs from participation in training

Not trained or practised in all defined hazard and accident situations (DFUs)

Aker BP has been given a deadline of 18 December 2018 to report on how the non-conformities and improvement points will be addressed.
